So the treehouse is done! Well, it isn't really a treehouse, is it? We have all struggled with what to call it—stilt house, playhouse, wee house, ... Yesterday, I finished the trim around the door and windows.
Then I hung the two parts of the dutch door, which I had made while up at the lake. I have hung doors before, but this is my first dutch door. I must say there is a lot more to have to fuss with to get the two parts to swing together properly and to align properly. I spent waaaaay too much time on this step, but it turned out well, I guess.
At least Clara thought so. Here she is peering out through the screen and the owl cutout.
Then it was time for a break and some baseball. Henry's team had a game. He is a good hitter and fielder, and he throws well too.
Throughout their games they rotate all the players through various positions, and everyone gets to bat in each inning. We saw Henry play first base, short stop, and catcher.
Today I built the railing, which was the final step for me. As I said in a prior post, Betsy and Pete will have to finish the painting.
Here are the owners of the new wee house together with their chosen builder. I think of this as the "I'm done picture." What fun I had doing this project! Maybe we need one for little visitors up at the lake...hmmmmm.
